Abstract: A mixing apparatus for mixing two fluids immediately following contact with each other is disclosed. The mixing apparatus includes a spring-loaded ball valve separating a first fluid from a second fluid. The ball valve closes as a result of at least spring force. The ball valve opens as a result of hydraulic pressure of one of the fluids operating against the spring force. Mixing is accomplished instantaneously by dispersing one fluid in a thin pattern around the open ball valve into a stream of the other fluid. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There are practical difficulties in dosing a component of a composition (2) into its container (14), such as a personal care product into a hand-holdable dispenser on a filling line, due in part to the short time that is available for the operation. The difficulties can be ameliorated or overcome by employing dosing apparatus (4) in which the length of time that an in-line valve (9) is controlled by a feed-back loop in which the stream of liquid (18) dosed into the container (14) from a dosing nozzle (11) positioned above the container is scanned by a laser-generated beam (19) at frequent intervals from which the volume of liquid in a dose can be calculated and compared with a predetermined range to identify whether and the extent to which the period of time for which the valve (9) is open for a succeeding dose is altered.

Title: An optical element for shielding against light
Inventor: BEZZEL EIK
IPC: E06B9/24
Filed: 2003-06-18
Granted: 2011-02-02
Abstract: An optical element (11) in the form of an at least partially transparent face comprises transparent areas and essentially non-transparent areas. The transparent areas are arranged sufficiently close for the intermediate and essentially non-transparent areas to be essentially invisible to the naked eye, at least when the element is viewed from a given distance. The essentially non-transparent areas are arranged sufficiently close and have a sufficient extent at right angles to the face for the intermediate, transparent areas to have such depth/width ratio that the optical element will, at a given point on the face, allow passage of light with given angles of incidence, while light having other angles of incidence are unable to pass the element at the point in question. Hereby an optical element is obtained that is able to better reduce the heating of the interior of a building that is caused by incoming solar radiation without the direct radiation and hence the view being blocked considerably.

Abstract: Delay positions for a RAKE receiver are selected by searching a plurality of multi-paths to select a set of multi-path delays associated with the highest signal to interference ratios (SIRs) and/or power values while maintaining a minimum distance between the multi-path delays during a first time interval. Respective SIRs and/or power values associated with the respective multi-path delays are determined during a second time interval. The respective SIRs and/or power values are filtered based on the SIRs and/or power values obtained while searching the plurality of multi-paths during the first time interval and determining respective SIRs and/or power values for the multi-path delays during the second time interval. For each of the respective multi-path delays, the respective filtered SIR and/or power value associated with the respective multi-path delay is compared with the SIRs and/or power values associated with delays immediately adjacent to that multi-path delay. For each of the respective multi-path delays, a respective multi-path delay position is adjusted based on the result of comparing the respective filtered SIR and/or power value associated with the respective multi-path delay with the filtered SIRs and/or power values associated with delays immediately adjacent to the respective multi-path delay. Respective multi-path delay positions are then assigned to fingers of a RAKE receiver.
